Summary:
Presents twelve interlinked
stories
narrated by women that challenge traditional ideas of femininity.
"In these innovative linked
stories
, women confront loss and grief as they sift through the wreckage of their lives. These wounded women stand at the edge of disaster and risk it all to speak their sharpest secrets. In lean, acrobatic prose, Susan Steinberg subverts assumptions about narrative and challenges conventional gender roles. She delivers insight with a fierce lyric intensity in sentences shorn of excessive sentiment or unnecessary ornament. By fusing style and story, Steinberg amplifies the connections between themes and characters so that each devastating revelation echoes throughout the collection. A vital and turbulent book from a distinctive voice,
Spectacle
will break your heart, and then, before the last page is turned, will bind it up anew."--Publisher.
